Bernard the Hermit Crab

by Thomas Vignaud

I think he was seriously feeling alone, with at least 30 centimeters of red sponge in all directions around him. good luck Bernard.

Equipment: Canon EOS 400D and Canon 60mm macro USM

Its a good shot, the colors are great and the subject is just looking in the lens a very great instant I must say.

I guess if Bernard chose to be there it was probably because there’s no competition for food. I love his beady eyes.

It shows through your images that you love underwater photography. Neat capture and I love the colours here/the whole thing looks very natural/not overcooked in Photoshop.
